TO MY COY MOREMÍ
<p>If we have unlimited time,</p><p>like the days of Noah,</p><p>I would court and love you forever.</p><p>I would use the donkey of my years,</p><p>worshiping and adoring you.</p><p></p><p>A hundred years to adore your overall beauty that stings all wandering eyes</p><p>Forty years to admire your gaze, for one wink gladdens my soul</p><p>Fifty years to caress your forehead, the space there makes you uniquely beautiful.</p><p>Thirty years for each orange upon your chest.</p><p>And eighty years to bow before your feet and drown in the ocean of your beauty</p><p></p><p>But time, like a bird, flies,</p><p>And I can hear its wings flapping behind us.</p><p>I can hear the chariot of permanent sleep hurrying nearby to take us away.</p><p></p><p>Therefore let's live now,</p><p>When the youthful hue clings to our skin like hair to head.</p><p>Let's love now, while the our eyes still know beauty,</p><p>While our hands still remember the warmth</p><p>For the day is running away from us.</p><p><br/></p><p>Though we cannot command sun,</p><p>Let's make a little portion our daylight burn brightly.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>This is adaptation of the “To the coy mistress” by Andrew Marvell</strong></p><p><strong>—@Olarewaju</strong></p>
